A New Years Look

My husband and I traveled over from Central Texas to Shreveport and then hopped on over the Hot Springs, Arkansas...if you have never gotten in the car and just let the wheel take over; then you sure are missing some darn pretty sites...This is a closer view of the water falls that dot the Hot Springs side roads...

Find a river and follow its path...sure it is cold outside, but you have to get out of the car now and then...here go take a look...

I have a program that allows me to paste a photo and then paint and distort what you actually see into a work of art...I have done this on many photos dotted about this site...

Hope you enjoyed some of the trip...there will be more to come...here is one of my lil sis Chef E's poems to go with this...

Pretty Brook (2)

Sputtering brook winding down as far as eyes can see just past our way fish jump hearts pump as lines are cast the fresh taste of things to come

Cast iron heatwith a little oil, cornmeal breading and baiting patience and wait listen to geese, bullfrogs small birds, the breeze the quiet moments we steal

Watch men in waders pass by in and out of glory their big fish stories dip down into watery holes up to their knees

You and me, a pole, wiggly worms and hook sharing landscape full of more history than fish mile for mile casting a new path down off Pretty Brook

Hi - found you at your sister's blog and had to check you out. I got excited seeing you went to Shreveport. That is were I am from! Born, raised and lived there for 37 years. Been in Ohio for 7 years. These are GREAT pictures!!

You see I knew that we were drawn together by an unknown force...I am from Arkansas and I have been to hot springs and see the sulfur and the mud...Seriously thanks for stopping by by blog. I hope that you will find yourself there often and find a smile when you suface..I'm a ER Nurse so expect the unexpected and I like to talk about naughty things...sorry did I just type that out loud???;)
